So... Messianic Jewish Hardcore from Jerusalem?!??

They were featured on the Emo Diaries compilation #10: The Hope I Hide Inside, from Deep Elm Records. Good luck on finding their album, though, unless Men of Israel Records reissues it on their site for download. Emusic and isound might have it and an EP, but I'm not sure if they have all the tracks... Anyhow, here's some info on them from CD Baby:

My Name Is Nobody
My Name Is Nobody

© 2002 My Name Is Nobody

Hardcore punk-rock with female vocals, sing-along choruses, and a positive message

"...Our generation isn't dead, we just need a little kick in the head..."

Can music make a difference? My Name Is Nobody believes it can. This five-piece powerhouse from Jerusalem has something to say. Socially conscious, but compassionate and sincere, they bring us passionate hardcore screaming with strong guitar melodies - think U2 meets Poison the Well, or even try imagining The Incredible Hulk singing lead vox for Superchunk(!). Of course, let not forget the punk roots, although sometimes roots go deeper than just a style of music - sometimes they reach all the way back to the God of Israel. Don't worry, there's a place for you to sing along too.

The Pit That Became a Tower




Messianic Jewish lo-fi indie rock from Jerusalem. reminds me of Sal Paradise in some ways. Also has a little bit of a slacker vibe, uses beats and electronics at times, and reminds me a lot of the stuff on Deep Elm Records pre-2000. There's a definite L.S. Underground and Michael Knott influence on this, too, which is a huge plus...

Listen to a full album here.

Here's the regular myspace, with songs from different albums (hasn't been updated in like five months).

This is their label.
